The Worst Tax Preparer Reviews

I hired Marie Azam to help me with incorporation and do some revised tax returns. I paid her, and then I got nothing but excuses for months and months. I never got my documents and she refused to return my money. I am preparing a small claims lawsuit to recover my money.

Very untrustworthy with personal information,Sat down with her an hour are two preparing my taxes not one time did anything come up about up front cash payment of 250.00,when finished preparing my taxes with her was told I owe 250. Cash up front that she knee I did not have tried to see if I could make arrangement too get it too her quick as possible thought she would take out of refund check,but she was very nasty and after I signed papers and then had discussion about payment that I didn't have at the time she went back and changed my status to married which I have never been married in my life,this caused whole refund to be given too someone I do not know,so I definitely would not recommend using her unless you have cash up front,she also told me when I asked about being taken out of refund check that she only does that for loyal clients.I .et her through her cousin and that was my only reason for using her, To this day still did not get this situation right

Awful- I’ve never an ugly personality who thinks she’s all that. My wife and I would never use her again. I see she’s at Vitro near us so I hope they understand she’s not very competent.

Unprofessional. They don’t prioritize their clients. As a client it seems as though you have to chase them down in order to get in contact with someone. And even when you do get in contact with someone, they act as though they don’t have the patience to help their clients. It’s been 3 months since me & my partner filed with them & come to find out they entered in our information wrong from the start but when you hold them accountable they act as if they did or can do no wrong which encourages you to feel like you’re bothering them. It seems as though they treat everyone’s situation as if it were the same just so they can justify not doing anything else about it. Now all of sudden everyone’s on vacation when you need them the most. Do not do business with these people if QUALITY & HONORABLE service is what you’re after.

Worst service you will ever receive.

After taking all of the records to this office, expecting the tax return to be prepared for 2021, and paying her, nothing was done. I've been trying to contact her since last August, and she will NOT respond to me. Mary's grand-daughter, Kelly is the representative I spoke to, as she told me she would be taking over the family business.

I would leave no stars if I could! This lady did my taxes for years and I thought everything was good until I got audited & found out that she was stealing moneys from me every year thousands of dollars on top of charging me to do my taxes she stole my covid refund from the government! She was constantly asking almost begging for money every other day even though we would pay her when we got our refund.The last time I did business with her she was suppose to bring copies of all of my documents & showed up looking crazy & high & brought nothing i paid her because she said she would show up to my house later & never showed up instead she text me pictures & it was only 2 pages not even what i asked for & i had to mail in my prepaired documents myself. The irs told me she attached all her info to mine! Be ware people she will steal from u cuz she did it to soo many other people as well!! I hope u get caught!

There’s no actual office you can go to, I filed with Milagros and paid $500 for 2 tax years to be filed. Only one year was filed and I’m being audited by the IRS due to all of the misinformation that she claimed on my taxes. I’ve been trying to get copies of the taxes for months and they don’t respond to me. Her daughter reina answers the phone and is extremely rude and knows absolutely nothing. I wish I would’ve never been referred here. Now I’m in issues with the IRS and all reina and Milagros have done is upset me and treat me terribly. Do not file here.

Haven't heard from Ms. Brooks about our audit for 2021 tax season and will not respond. I've repeatedly reached out but no answer. I will be contacting the IRS for this matter. Doesn't make any since to leave us paying the IRS. Something has to be done about this. Or this will become a fraud lawsuit.

Zero stars! All of our taxes were prepared incorrectly. 2021 taxes showed owing three hundred plus. Turned them over to a CPA and we had a 3700 return. We had a small business before with an s corp so we had a K1 with a loss. The loss was not figured into our personal taxes! Was told no quarterly taxes were to be paid on my husbands business wrong! This person may be able to do simple bookkeeping however she is truly not qualified to prepare taxes!!!!

He charged us for educating himself on business tax. It took him 2 hours and charged us 200.00 dollars; we had to have our taxes done over. His total charge was $500.00 for something you can do online for free. He does not understand business tax laws... and exploits elderly people we are turning him into the Business and Professions... Bad news for us

Terrible she took my refund I was her husband and I never seen a dime of my 2022 refund

I am writing this review to alert everyone of what a scammer Mr Luis A Aldana is. He overcharged us for a job on a lien we requested but to make matters worst after more than 4 months he has not done anything, he did not file the lien and refuses to return our money. I strongly recommend everyone to stay away from this thug as he does not have any integrity and respect for his clients.

FRAUD - LIER - THEIF-UNETHICAL Fraud alert!!! Fraudulent Tax preparer. He steels from clients. He charges you for his service then lies about what you are dispose to get and steels the rest without your consent. Fraudulent!!! Fraudulent!! IF THERW WAS THE OPTION FOR TERO STARS, Julio A. Sanchez would have gotten it.

Not responsive, argumentative before checking on facts, not interested in putting effort listening to you as a customer, she only cares to file ASAP so she gets paid. But if the State or IRS has any questions, she is almost impossible to get hold of. This year I didn't get my federal return so I contacted the IRS to find out that the bank information was wrong, and I have to wait another six weeks to get this issue resolved. Whenever I asked her about the delay, she says it hasn't been long. Yet on the IRS website it states three weeks is the wait time, so I have no idea what is she talking about. I would stay as far away from her as possible. This person doesn't know taxes, nor does she care about us, her customers. I am defiantly filing with someone else. Never in my whole life in the United States that I had such experience. This is the first time ever.

Horrible service. I could never reach her. She finally emailed me basically telling me I needed to handle it myself. I don’t even know why I even got her to do my taxes if all she does is leaves you hanging. Plus I heard she was opening some business in Vegas, that’s why she wouldn’t return my calls. She probably opened that business with all that money that she got from the people that she did the taxes wrong and left them hanging to deal with the IRS on their own.

I have been going to Michelle for years and at first she was great! Recently I got a letter in the mail from the irs, Michelle unfortunately did my taxes incorrectly and I am now paying the government over $7,000 for her mistake.

Extremely unprofessional CPA, made mulitple errors on our tax returns and refused to rectify his errors. Run and find a quality CPA else where. Completely dissatisfied.

If I could give a zero I would..she's a thief...a liar, don't use her as you will be doing illegal things

I would give zero stars if I could. I can't understand how Peter can actually be an accountant. Countless mistakes throughout the process. Several typos on the forms submitted. I had an entire year receiving letters both from the IRS and NYS about the mistakes made on several forms, and found out on my own that my tax return only got delayed for over 1 year (2021 still processing) because of all the mistakes made. Not only that, but Peter is also not responsive or apologetic. Never admitted his mistakes (his answers are always "ugh, the IRS doesn't know what they are doing"), hung up on me in various calls when I needed information so I could fix my own taxes (after spending several hours on the phone with the IRS and NYS). Ended up that I pretty much had to do everything on my own, and I still await for my return 14 months later. Also I just happened to find out recently that he filed my corporate taxes late (even though my paperwork was dropped on the first week of tax season) and received a penalty for it. Rude Peter after several calls said he would mail a check to cover. Been 10 days, no check. If you need to waste a lot of your own time fixing tax mistakes made by this "accountant", Peter is your guy! Do not give your business in case you need things done right. This is not an accountant at all.
